Where's the best place for soup or chili around town?

My guess is that at Golden Corral, you can get both, and in as massive a quantity as you'd like.

Buen provecho!

Awesome name, btw. How about the mall?

Thanks curry! I did think to myself "Let's Go To The Mall" but then realized there were no good options there.

Blue Baker soup in a bread bowl!

Carinos. Olive Garden

OG is fairly awful, but I freakin love that zuppa toscana

I love Jason's Deli's chicken pot pie soup. So good.

Last time I ate at Carino's the soup was lukewarm.

I like the chicken tortilla at Wing n More and the broccoli cheese at schlotskys.

Schlotsky's has a really good tomato basil too.

Panera has SEVERAL soup options - and they're all good in my book. Added bonus - you can have it in a sourdough bread bowl

I really enjoy the soups at Newk's.

The potato cheese soup at Cotton Patch
is really good.

I feel pretty meh about the tacos at Fuego, but their chicken tortilla soup is really delicious. Also +1 for Newks.

Mcallisters also,

Believe it or not the chili and the chicken noodle soup at Wings-n-More are the best in town in my opinion.
Shipwreck has Gumbeaux and the clam chowder at Fish Daddy's are pretty solid also.

Fuego's Tortilla soup is AMAZING!! Edit for spelling fail

Guh, I eat so much soup. Such is the life of a vegetarian who doesn't really like sandwiches and is willing to look the other way in the face of chicken broth so as to not be an ******* at restaurants.

Blue Baker's cheddar tomatillo and roasted red pepper bisque are good. Broccoli cheddar there is bland, and tomato is thin and inconsistent.

Cuco's has an awesome veggie tortilla soup (no meats! but i suspect the broth is chicken).

McAllister's has veggie chili if you're just too lazy to make some yourself. Other soups I've tried are not very good.

Panera's soups are pretty good, but salty. Their black bean soup and broccoli cheddar pretty tasty, though. I'm getting phantom sodium swells thinking of them.

Village has good daily soups, and so does Washbangers - but no tasty crusty bread or garnish or anything.

Blackwater has a really good beer cheese soup, and while the experience there is extremely hit or miss, the soups I've had have all been total hits. There was this (winter) squash one that was amazing, and tasted like something I'd make at home. Dang, it was so good.

Aaaalso, it's totally awesome soup making weather! Pull out the extra big LC dutch oven and simmer up something way better than the meager offerings here, if you're into that sort of stuff!

The soups at Madden's and The Republic are very good.

I am not aware that any place in BCS makes "authentic" Texas chili...and yes I realize what sort of an argument that statement can precipitate.

I like the tomato soup at Newks and the chili at Texas Roadhouse.

Love Panera.

Tomato Bisque from Napa Flats, although Village Cafe's tomato basil is pretty good too.

Thanks everybody! Some of those places like Fuego and Wings, I never would have thought of for soup!

Elite - Gumbo and chili sound delish and I never would have thought of those places! Thanks!

K2T2 - I'm always up for making soups, however, the problem is I was looking for something quick today! You should share some recipes if you've got them!

GREAT chicken noodle soup!

Chik fila in pinch also has good chicken noodle soup

Country Potato Soup in a bread bowl at McAlisters. Newks has some good ones too.

Wings n more chicken noodle
Tgin won ton
OG pasta ***ioli
Honey baked ham bacon potato

Can of black beans (drained)
Can of corn (drained)
Can of rotel
Can of tomato sauce
2 chicken breasts
2 cans of water (out of rotel can)
Ranch and taco seasoning
-Cook chicken, then combine all ingredients plus chicken into pot or crockpot. Cook in crockpot for a few hours or about an hour on stove top. Add enough taco seasoning to please your taste buds, unsure of exact amount I just add it and try it and add some more if needed. Usually add about half a ranch seasoning packet. Top with tortilla chips, sour cream, cheese, whatever you like!
It's a simple soup but the wife and I enjoy it

I like the gumbo from fish daddys. Get it to-go for lunch all the time. Bowl of gumbo and a small caesar salad for $6.50.

Made this tonight. Wife's kids don't like soup but tear this up.

2lbs browned ground beef
2 packets stew seasoning
3 cups water
3 cans tomato sauce
1 can each- corn,green beans (all drained)
1 small can each- peas, diced carrots, lima beans (all drained)
4 cans diced potatoes (drained) if I have time I use fresh potatoes

Season with tony cachere's
Simmer til taters are done

Sounds awesome!

Panera's soup is far overpriced.

I was told they make it in a plant, freeze bags of it, and the soup bag is thawed in hot water.

Come to think of it, most soup in town is overpriced.

Tomato Bisque from Maddens, I like the Lobster Bisque in the bread bowl from Blue Baker and the Chicken and Gnocchi from Olive Garden.

For chili--when you're in a pinch and in a hurry (or even when you're not)--try Wendy's. With optional cheese and onions, obviously a great choice on cold days. In fact, I've been through at times when they've already sold out for the day!

Billy Chili at Margie's in downtown Bryan.
